- Completeness
- Known missing English opening repaired using approved same-edition Wisconsin copy. Main English translation is represented from I.1 through the source bracketed [XIX.], with nineteen historical divisions and one separate editorial notice. This is not the complete book apparatus, not a full Wisconsin transcription, and not a word-perfect edition. Toronto printed 2–3 remain absent in the unchanged original scan.
- Review
- Unverified edition; not Human Sealed
Recorded provenance: Reading body combines two explicitly identified physical copies of the same 1891 edition. Wisconsin provides only fresh English heading/subtitle/I.1 transcription; Toronto provides all later text unchanged from accepted partial package. Native source_file is a derived composite source container, not the Toronto scan itself. The original Toronto XML and PDF identities remain unchanged. No supplied Hathi OCR or images enter this packet. The source-gap repair does not claim comprehensive OCR proofreading.
